Charles David Liddell is an American retired mixed martial artist and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion of English descent. Better known as Chuck Liddell, he was born on the 17th of December 1969 in Santa Barbara, California, United States. He is the husband of Heidi Northcott and the father of Brendan Liddell, Trista Liddell, and Cade Liddell.

Chuck is an advocate of healthy and balanced diet. He said in an interview, “I eat a balanced diet. I actually have a guy who cooks for me at home. It’s 40/30/30 — so 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat. It’s healthy. It’s clean. It’s real simple. When I’m training at home I have five meals for the day that I just heat up. It’s all planned and that’s what I eat. There are enough calories in there for me for the day, and each week as my weight goes up and down we’ll add or lose calories.”

What’s his advice to people who wants to try MMA for the first time? Here’s what he said: “You can actually find a lot of gyms that do teach mixed martial arts. But it’s just like with any martial art — you’ve got to look at the coaches, go watch some classes, see how people treat each other and how the coaches treat the students. Pay attention to the details.”
